SSMT: Verse 15

As you saw on Saturday, busy doesn't quite begin to cover my July. Insane, perhaps? All normalcy has been gone from my life. I flew from one activity to the next, hoping I wouldn't forget something...at least something major.

It was one of those months when I was sorely tempted to just buy more underwear because I didn't have time to do laundry.

And sadly, my time withe the Lord took a hit. I hate that. I really really hate that. I was convicted beyond words at Olivia's wedding on Saturday when, 30 minutes before walking down the aisle, she gathered up her train and disappeared into a classroom to do her devotions. I am pretty sure that means I have no excuse.

God and I do a lot of talking on my commute, but my times of sitting at His feet...reading...studying...journaling...took a hit this month. Did I mention I hate that?

I'm sure this is a by-product of that, but even in all the busyness this month, it has been a lonely month. I have struggled more than I even want to admit to myself with that great sadness. The temptation to contact people I know I shouldn't be contacting has been intense. And I've shed more than a few tears in those discussions with God.

So this verse that I've chosen is picked from a rather desperate heart. I haven't done word studies. I haven't dissected. I just need it.

As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the Lord is flawless. He is a shield for all who take refuge in him. - 2 Samuel 22:31

I don't understand His ways right now. But I do have an incredible peace that His way is perfect. Even when I don't get it. And right now I'm falling into His arms for refuge. Comfort.

Not profound today. But that's my heart.
